Former Cincinnati Bengals running back Cedric Benson passed away this weekend. He was 36 years old.
Benson’s attorney, Sam Bassett, announced Sunday morning that law enforcement determined Benson was killed in a motorcycle crash Saturday night in Texas.
Bassett also issued the following statement on Benson’s passing:
“Cedric was not just a client. He was my friend. He was immensely talented and fierce on the football field, yet most have no idea the difficulties he overcame to achieve what he did. Though imperfect in some respects, once Cedric was your friend, you understood how kind, sensitive and loyal he was as a man.
